| Pedro took just 20 minutes to score his first Chelsea goal |
PEDRO took just 20 minutes to introduce himself to the Premier League as a surging run ended with the Spaniard netting his first Chelsea goal.
He already looks comfortable in his new surroundings and was on hand to lay another one on for Diego Costa as well.
Pedro gave the Stamford Bridge faithful a glimpse into why boss Jose Mourinho was delighted to splash £21.4million to sign him from Barcelona.
But while it might be a shrewd piece of business on Mourinho's part, one of the summer's most bizarre transfer sagas might just prompt nightmares among Manchester United fans.
Seemingly on course to sign him, United were pipped by their rivals to to the 27-year-old's signature at the 11th hour.
And their supporters appear to be bemused by their failure to secure a deal.
See why LVG didn't want Pedro. Too much flair and invention for his team.

— NEO (@THE_FOODIE_GUY) August 23, 2015Pedro has now scored as many P Lgegoals this season as the entire Man Utdsquad.
— Richard Keys (@richardajkeys) August 23, 2015Good job Van Gaal didn’t want that chap Pedro then isn’t it
— United Rant (@unitedrant) August 23, 2015Former England cricket captain and United fan Michael Vaughan tried to see the funny side, while pundit and former Tottenham star Jermaine Jenas sided with frustrated supporters.
Chelsea fans, on the other hand, basked in the glory of their new man and could hardly wait to rub it in their rivals' faces.
Can see why Man Utddidn't want to sign Pedro....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) August 23, 2015Man Utd fan have gotta be fuming watching this from pedro! 🙈

Some pointed the finger at manager Louis van Gaal as they took to Twitter and questioned claims that he didn't want to sign him anyway.

They were also quick to point out Chelsea's previous transfer coups, such as snatching John Obi-Mikel from under the noses of United, beating Tottenham to Willian and Liverpool to Mohamed Salah.
Pedro, though, could be the biggest yet. The World Cup winner slipped seamlessly into Premier League life on a stunning debut for the club, and the bumper fee could like a bargain come the end of the season.

— Russell Cane (@RussCane) August 19, 2015So we have "stolen" Willian from spurs, "stolen" Salah from Liverpool and likely now "stolen" Pedro from united. Who's next to steal? #CFC
